Mathematische Bildung in der Grundschule ist eine herausfordernde und langfristige Aufgabe und unterliegt curricularen Wandlungen. Mit Fokus auf Erkenntnisse aus empirischen Forschungen werden im Rahmen von drei Hauptvorträgen aus verschiedenen Inhaltsperspektiven curriculare Wandlungen im Mathematikunterricht der Grundschule betrachtet und diskutiert. Zusätzlich setzten sich sieben Arbeitsgruppen mit den Themenfeldern ‚Arithmetik‘, ‚Geometrie‘, ‚Daten, Zufall und Wahrscheinlichkeit‘, ‚Kommunikation & Kooperation‘, ‚Lernen, Lehren und Forschen mit digitalen Medien‘, ‚Frühe mathematische Bildung‘ sowie ‚Lehrer:innenbildung‘ intensiv mit aktuellen Forschungs- und Praxisfragen auseinander. Die zentralen Inhalte der Arbeitsgruppen sind in diesem Band ebenfalls dokumentiert. The Proceedings of the 2021 Conference of the Research Group on Primary Mathematics Education (Arbeitskreis Grundschule in der GDM) focus on empirical foundation of curricula in mathematics education in primary school. Three invited talks addressed the main theme in plenum. Additionally, workings groups on the research areas arithmetic, geometry, data & probability, as well as groups on early mathematics education, communication & co-operation, ICT education, and last not least on teacher education offered discussions on current research issues.

Early Mathematics Education

In Reconceptualizing Early Mathematics Learning, editors Lyn English and Joanne Mulligan present a widely varying collection of research and initiatives within the field of early mathematics education research, providing a thoughtful argument for further investment and work in this developing field of study. Among the diverse contributions to this volume, the editors have included (a) a narration of how the historical development of research in sociology, philosophy of education, mathematics, and the sciences contributes to the present perspectives and theoretical orientation of early childhood researchers, (b) a report of the use of iPad technology that provides interactive instruction for young children learning about number, and (c) a survey of several professional development programs that emphasize young learners' awareness of structure in mathematical settings. The collection of research reported here provides a lively engagement with some important topics in early mathematics education research. One challenge for an edited collection of reports from a given field is organizing it along themes in a sequence that helps the reader understand the trends and issues. Rather than reading the book from cover to cover, we suggest reading groups of chapters identified by theme.
